Title
Process-variance models in information security awareness research
Abstract
Abstract Purpose,– The purpose,of this paper,is to study,the way,information,systems,(IS) security researchers approach,information,security awareness,and examine,whether,these approaches,are consistent with the organization theory and IS approaches,for the study of organizational processes. Design/methodology/approach,– Open coding analysis was performed,on selected publications (articles, surveys, standards, and reports). The chosen publications were classified and the classification results are presented, based on a proposed typology. Findings,– The proposed,typology,allows us to identify different types of research models,followed by security researchers and practitioners, and to infer a set of practical implications, for the benefit of those interested in empirically studying,information,security awareness. Research limitations/implications – The paper represents a pilot survey, performed in a selected number,of publications. Practical implications,– The paper helps researchers and practitioners to distinguish the research models that can be adopted for the study of information security awareness organizational process, by identifying the key dimensions,along which they differ. Originality/value – The proposed,typology,provides,a guide to identify the range,of options available to researchers,and,practitioners when,they,design their work,regarding,the security awareness topic. Moreover, it can facilitate the communication between scholars in the field of security awareness.
